Is it worth having the coeliac test?
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010My private nutritionalist has performed a scio allergy test and it came up I was allergic to gluten. I’ve cut it out for two months and it’s still coming up as a high allergy – i.e. I must have coeliacs. I’ve been to the dr’s today (who was useless!) and I’m booked in for a blood test. But is it worth putting myself back on gluten just to prove I have a reaction to the dr’s? What do you actually GET from the NHS for coeliacs anyway? I heard it was just money towards bread? I feel so rotten when I eat gluten is it really worth going through all the nasty tests for the sake of a new entry on my medical records?
My son was diagnosed a celiac last summer, just by the blood test and how unwell he was. He is also anaemic due to not being able to absorb nutrients. It is worth being tested and going wheat and gluten free is not as hard as you think. Join Celiac UK web site for free and they send you a fab little book that lists all the shops and supermarkets that sell free from food. If you have tummy pain and feel weak and tired all the time and need the loo. You could well be a celiac and its to dangerous to leave it can lead to organ failure and cancer. You can get a lot of care from a good Dr. who will give you a prescription for food stuff like bread,cakes,pizza base and white mix that replaces flour.
Please look into it..good luck.
